This book is usually referred to as a book for young readers. It is written in on a level easily understood by school age readers. However, the story is touching for readers of any age. The problems that Bernie, Heidi, and Mama (So B. It) face and the way they help each other will captivate the hearts of anyone. Heidi was born to a mentally handicapped mother who is left alone with no way of caring for herself or her child and Bernie, who suffers from agoraphobia, looks after them. Only Heidi, when she is still a child, can venture outside and do errands for them. Then, Heidi wants to find where she comes from and begins a trek across the country to find her story. Her incredible luck gets her there safely. It is a great read, but be warned--you'll need to keep the tissues handy.
